Arizona

sherpa · Nov 3, 2009

We live in the mountains of North Carolina. It gets cold here in January.
We are thinking about traveling to Arizona in January and staying for 2 or 3 weeks.
I heard it is nice and warm out in southern Arizona in the winter?
There is a little town called Brenda, Arizona, anyone know anything about the area?

Not very warm there today, 42F right now! Sounds like it's mostly RV parks.

The town is very close to Quartzite, AZ. Lots of RV's for the annual RV show. Hope you have reservations. Unless you are boondocking.

Jan and Feb are the coldest months in AZ. If you want to be warm you are gong to need to be Tucson or south of it. It gets into the 20's here in those months. If you are Phoenix or north you are going to run into lots of snow.

BrBrenda is pretty much the middle of nowhere.

That's funny. When it is cold here, we go to North Carolina!

What part of NC do you go to?
Do you drive an RV down here?

No. We drive down through the Smokies and head across to Nag's Head.

Thats kinda what we were looking for is the middle of nowhere.

Is there any places down around Tombstone like that?
We want to ride our little dual sport motorcycles on some desert dirt roads.
